OPTIONS

bsod accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root Draw on the root window.
-mono If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
-visual visual
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
visual.
-delay delay
The delay between displaying one crash and another.
-only which
Tell it to run only one mode, e.g., -only HPUX.
-fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
Notable X resources supported include the following, which control
which hacks are displayed and which aren't. doWindows, doNT, doWin2K,
doAmiga, doMac, doMac1, doMacsBug, doMacX, doSCO, doAtari, doBSD,
doLinux, doSparcLinux, doHPPALinux, doBlitDamage, doSolaris, doHPUX,
doApple2, doOS390, doTru64, doVMS, doMSDOS, doOS2, doHVX, and doATM.
Each of these is a Boolean resource, they all default to true, except
for doAtari, doBSD, doSparcLinux, and doHPPALinux, which are turned off
by default, because they're really not all that interesting looking
unless you're a fan of those systems.
There are command-line options for all of these: e.g., -bsd, -no-bsd.
(Also note the -only option.)
